Skoglund was given the DFA to make room on the 40-man roster for Trevor Rosenthal. The 27-year-old owns a 6.61 ERA over three partial seasons and 109 innings. The southpaw was also shut down due to "arm tenderness" after pitching in the Cactus League opener on February 21. He'll likely serve as pitching depth at Triple-A Omaha if he goes unclaimed.
